See how Regenera Activa helps in the treatment of hair loss – MOVE SLIDER

Regenera Activa is a specially designed system that uses autologous cell transplantation, the use of which covers a number of applications in regenerative medicine. The Regenera Activa system was created to obtain a suspension of cells capable of regenerating tissues.

Androgenetic alopecia (hair loss, baldness) occurs due to the sensitivity of hair follicles to androgens. This is the most common cause of hair loss and occurs in 70% of men and 40% of women in a certain period of their lives.

Hair loss is a big problem for women and men. Regenera Activa is a new system in the fight against androgenetic alopecia, hair loss

Studies show that the main factor causing androgenetic alopecia is testosterone and more specifically a testosterone derivative – dihydrotestosterone (DHT). These are male hormones – androgens, which occur in men but also in women.

Androgens play an important role in the sexual development of men from birth to adolescence. They regulate the activity of sebaceous glands, apocrine sweat glands and libido. With age, androgens stimulate hair growth on the face, but stop at the temples and the top of the head, this condition has been called the ‘androgenic paradox’.

The problem of baldness does not only affect men but also women in whom an additional factor affecting the hair loss – in addition to the excess of androgens – is the disturbed proportion between female and male sex hormones. Hair loss in women is also promoted by obesity, hypothyroidism and hormonal contraception. Dihydrotestosterone causes the hair to gradually weaken (then the hair becomes thinner and weaker – this is the first manifestation of baldness), and at the same time under its influence significantly shortens the phase of anagen and lengthens telogen (thus the hair grows slower and shorter).

What is hair loss, androgenetic alopecia?

Patients at the Aesthetic Medicine Clinic Eskulap mmKisiel London Birmingham and Słupsk often ask what is androgenetic alopecia. Androgenetic alopecia occurs due to the sensitivity of hair follicles to androgens. This is the most common cause of hair loss and occurs in 70% of men and 40% of women in a certain period of their lives.

In men, there is usually a recession of the hairline at the temples and baldness at the apex, in women it usually manifests in the form of scattered thinning at the top of the head. In men, it often leads to total baldness. Women tend to never get bald completely.

In the case of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the important issue is that it is formed during the transformation of testosterone under the influence of a catalyst, the enzyme 5α of reductase. 5α reductase occurs in sweat glands at the hair follicles. Dihydrotestosterone causes miniaturization of the hair follicles which in turn leads to their shallowing and thinning of the hair. Shorter hair life = faster transition to hair loss. Men with androgenetic alopecia usually have a higher concentration of 5a reductase. The highest concentration of 5α of reductase occurs on the scalp.

What does the REGENERA ACTIVA treatment look like?

In the first stage, the doctor will take a small section of the skin (from one to three biopsies with a diameter of 2.5 mm) from the nape of the neck on the hairline. This is the area that is least susceptible to androgenetic alopecia. The collection of such a small section of the skin allows spontaneous healing of the sample collection site. This is a completely painless process because the doctor anesthetized the place of the biopsy with lidocaine.

In the next stage, the physician, using a special device, isolates progenitor cells, stem cells and growth factors that have regenerative abilities from your tissue.

The prepared suspension will be applied to your scalp by means of mesotherapy to your hair follicles to initiate repair processes.

How often do you repeat the hair transplant?

The Regenera Activa treatment is performed only once in a single session. It is not necessary to perform this procedure in series. Regenera Activa treatment can be repeated only after 2-3 years to prevent further hair loss and progression of androgenic alopecia.
